More great sci-fi from the author of "Ender's Game"

Multiple Hugo and Nebula award winner Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite authors in any genre. He's simply the best at combining fully-fleshed characters, riveting character drama (his handling of family members in conflict sets the standard, imho) and great storytelling. This five-book series (the first 3 are included in this volume) is my favorite series by him, edging out Alvin Maker and both Ender series. Set millions of years in the future, it concerns a loose-knit extended family on the planet Harmony, called out from among their neighbors by the "Oversoul" to re-activate the remaining starships and journey back to Earth. Into this epic tale, Card weaves themes of faith, family, loyalty, trust, fidelity and the balance between the needs of the individual vs. society. Card is the only author ever to win both Hugo and Nebula awards back-to-back. This series proves that his talent isn't limited to the Enderverse.
